savers

one thing that the frugal girl is always talking about is the great deals she finds at goodwill.  we don't have a goodwill super close, but we do have a savers!  i'd been meaning to go there for a while to check out the baby clothes (i've gone once or twice before, but always only to get things like tacky christmas sweaters), and finally found my impetus in needing a fleece sleeper for mats before our camping trip last weekend.  i found the sleeper i needed and was super impressed with the deals to be had - and, even better, i saw a sign for 50% off everything in the store on labor day!  without further ado, my haul of 12 month sized goodies that i hope will fit mats for this winter:

7 - t-shirts/onesies
2 - long sleeve t-shirts
1 - monkey shorts outfit that will likely be seasonally inappropriate but that i just couldn't resist
4 - sweatshirts/sweaters/track jacket
5 - pair of pants (including 2 pair of jeans!)
2 - pair swim trunks (one for this winter, one for next summer - at $.50 each, why not?)
grand total: $20!

i'll have a few more things to pick up as we approach winter (like more long sleeve shirts, some sleepers, and probably a real winter coat), but i think i'm a committed savers shopper for the foreseeable future.  maura said that the kids clothes weren't in nearly as good of shape as the baby clothes (makes sense, since babies are substantially less active than kids), but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
